Works as advertised

I bought this to power essentials in a power outage (fridge, wood stove blower, etc.) in October 2024. Took it out of the box. Seems to be missing the Quick Start Guide, but i downloaded it from the site. It was easy and straight forward. I tried it out using the propane option, and it powered both of these essentials without any increase in speed from the unit, as I had it on eco mode. Love the fact that I can add additional ones with the parallel cables and the fact that it can use either propane or gas. Would recommend this for what i bought it for or a camping/tailgate power source.

Loved how quiet it is

I bought it recently and used it to keep refrigerator working during power outage. It's nice and small and at 77 years old, I can carry it where I need it. We have two children living in town and we share with whoever needs it. Again its quietness is important as we live in a condo association. I also like having the Eco mode although I didn't use it this time with the fridge, I'm looking forward to trying it on the proper load.

Finally!

I have had a need for a small inverter generator as my main one is too big to carry camping, hunting, etc. After months of studying, I settled on the igen2550dfc due to reliability, price, power, and dual fuel capabilities. It went on sale 2 weeks ago and I was able to get one from a reputable dealer for an awesome price. The cord is super easy to pull and it starts up very easy. I can't wait to hook it up to my travel trailer after the 25 hour break in period.

Just Right

I wanted a dual fuel generator to augment my solar capability on my camper. Don't need to run AC, space heaters, etc. Just needed something to help charge our batteries that wasn't overly heavy. This unit seems to fit the bill. Excited to give it a go on our upcoming trip out West!

Excellent DF Generator Invertor

This is a very tight and quiet unit. Currently in the break in period, but all is going well so far. Impressed with the size and sound, Bought primarily to charge trolling motor batteries and whatever other small to medium electric needs i may have when away from a wall outlet. I wanted dual fuel, parallel capability, and RV plug to future proof this purchase. Does not have (i don't need) a 12V plug. I researched competitors in this size range until i was dizzy, but this unit kept coming to the top for my current and future needs.

Exactly what I hoped for

Even though I have only used the generator a short time it is performing very well. Setup was easy and it starts with two pulls, runs strong, and handles the tool loads well. I love the ECO mode as noise is much less than my other generators. Data display is great for checking operation and hour meter is nice for keeping the maintenance schedule. Its better than I expected and count on it lasting a long time.

Great generator

It started in the gasoline mode on the first pull, choke out, the first time out of the box. In the propane mode it took a few pulls and choke adjustments. It runs smoothly while powering, at least, my newer fridge, TV and a light with no problem. That's the minimum needed in a northern California power outage. It's sleek looking, has soft rubber feet, a large comfortable handle, easy dashboard and although I put in on a cart, it's lightweight. Compared with the standard, it really is quiet, humming right along. Very happy.

Very nice generator!

Bought this generator for future power outages in our home. We have too much to lose when the power goes out again. This is our first inverter generator that we owned and very pleased with the unit! Very quiet, the read-out display is awesome, and lets me know everything that I need to know while the generator is running. Very quiet and fuel efficient compared to the "old" style generators. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Great portable powerful generator

I purchased this for three reasons, first to power my truck camper with when camping, second to tailgate with at Raiders games, and third in case of a power outage at home. I purchased this one specifically because of the dual fuel (Only really plan on running on propane so the carb is easily maintained) and because of the the 30 amp RV plug in. The generator fired right up on propane after following the directions and purging the lines. So far it has not missed a beat.

Perfect for our need

We were looking for an inverter generator that we can use for our trailer. Most of the products available are too heavy to lift in an out of our truck to take with us on trips. We purchased two iGen2550c Westinghouse due to get the capacity we needed to run AC and other load in our trailer. Each one is less than 50 lbs. so I can move them. Noise level is pretty quiet for a generator. Start-up was super easy. Perfect for our need!
